Used Car Buying Online Checklist

When buying a used car there are a number of things to take into consideration. Do yourself a avor and create a quick check list to bring with you to the dealership.

Tips for Buying Used Cars Under $5000

1. Is the dealer reputable? Do you know someone else who has also purchased a car here? Are there reviews online? What kind of feedback are you seeing?
2. What kind of car are you looking for? Do some research before you visit the lot. See what other people are asking and take notes. These might be good things to ask about when you talk to the dealer.
3. Can you afford it? Is this car within your budget? Kelly Blue Book can be a good resource if you're not sure what cars you can afford.
4. How does the car look overall? Does the mileage match the description?
5. How does the car drive? Is the car making a lot of noise? Are the brakes responsive? Do the gears feel loose or are they grinding? How the tire treads and overall appearance of the wheels look?
6. Check the undercarriage. Can you obvious oil spots? Is there a lot of rust? Do you notice any hanging parts?

Bring a Pro

It may sound ridiculous, but if you're looking for local used cars and know someone who knows a lot about cars, bring them along. They may bring up questions you wouldn't think to ask, and they may end up saving you from being the new owner of a total lemon. Practice due dilligence by performing your research, but if you know a pro, it's not a bad idea to bring them along.
